Ricky, do you know if EgyptAir is replacing all flights between YYZ-CAI to 787 from Oct onwards permanently? When searching for flights on Aeroplan, flights in October is showing 787, but searching for flights in July 2020 (when I actually want the flights), it switches back to 777.
I’d expect that the schedule simply hasn’t been updated yet, and that those flights will also feature the new 787s.
Ricky, have you started planning 2020 Euro’s yet? Want to fly business return preferably on star alliance. The 787 between YUL-IST looks perfect. First stop in our six city (7) game plan. OTP is our fist stop. YYC-YUL-IST-OTP looks decent. Any way to book separate legs (securing seats ~330 days out) and calling in to cobble the itinerary together for a return mRTW (one destination, 2 stops or destination and 1 OJ?). Need to research the OJ rules again tho.
Glad you asked! Yes I’ll definitely be around for the Euros, got my eye on OTP/BUD/BIO and of course LON. But I’m pretty flexible with regards to the routing – I’m always looking to try new products, so maybe I’ll do something like the EgyptAir 787 or redeeming EY miles for Royal Air Maroc? 🙂
Excellent post! This is the good stuff. Glad to find some new travel goals.
I think the seat on Westjet, BA, EgyptAir, and AC are all the same seat with minor variations in the finishes.
I quite enjoyed the Westjet J between YYZ and YYC where they did crew training before the launching the TATL segments. Very reasonable cash fares.
Pretty much. The AC and WestJet seats look pretty much exactly like each other (down to the storage compartments on the seat console), and so does the BA Club Suite except it also has a door. I do have to say all three products are looking damn fine visually, though.
Wish I had a chance to take one of those YYZ-YYC flights, but I didn’t have a need to be in Calgary and didn’t feel like it was worth the trip just to try out the product.
I was on one of the FLL-YYC WJ 789’s. Very much like AC’s however no massaging chair option #firstworldproblems.
Great post! Fyi EVA is already flying their 787 to Vienna from both Bangkok and Taipei. Also not sure if it is a new product but KLM will soon be flying their 787-10 to YYZ.
Great post Ricky! Turkish is also flying its 789 from KIX-IST as of April 16, 2020. I saw many availability. I managed to book both Turkish 789 and TAP 339 for next year. I was not able to assign the seats myself via manage my account online, I had to call Turkish and TAP CSR to assign the seats. Very easy to do and the customer service was easy to deal with.
Great post Ricky. looks like I’ll be trying out the legacy product on TK and BR on my first mini-RTW later this year. I’m doing:
YVR-YUL-ZRH-BUD-IST(stop)-BKK-SIN(dest)-KIX(stop)-TPE-YVR. 2 questions:
1) How do you pre-reserve your meal on EVA?
2) Do you pay Europe-zone prices when you do a layover OR stopover… or just a layover?
On both Eva and SQ, you can pre-reserve your meal 3 weeks prior to departure. Go to Eva Air’s website and log in with your reservation # in the "Manage Your Trip Online Check In" tab. Next to your seat number there is a green meal button. Click on that and you can select your meals.
That explains it. My flight is more than 3 weeks away, so I only have the basic dietary needs meal choices: Vegetarian Hindu Meal(Indian Style), Children Meal, Diabetic Meal, Fruit Meal, etc. etc. I loved the "Book the chef system on Singapore Airlines!"
I’m pretty sure you complete the advance meal selection process during online check-in. I’m not too clear on what you mean in your second question – you’ll be paying Asia 2 prices on your redemption, regardless of whether you have a stopover or layover in Europe.
Hi Ricky, you mentioned that if you have a layover in Egypt on your way to Europe, you’d only pay Europe 2 prices. SO, a RT YYZ–CAI–IST(dest) – YYZ for example. Would that also apply if you made CAI a stopover (longer than 24h) OR does that automatically make CAI your destination and IST the stopover?
I see what you mean. If you stop in CAI for longer than 24 hours, it’ll count as your destination and you’ll have to pay the mileage for CAI.
